I'd expect the drafting of the section 42 to essentially be a collaborative process. One side drafts it, the other side checks it, off it goes. Who actually does the first draft doesn't seem that important really.
Yep this was my understanding originally, however neither solicitor seems to have agreed with this assessment, and it's got the point where I'm like the buyers solicitor is doing it all because I don't understand how my solicitors input would help and I don't want to be seen to be part of the process at all because it's a ball ache and a complete fucking distraction from the primary job which is to get the basic conditions of the sale sorted out regarding the outstanding MW charge.
I'm past the point where care if the sales goes through or not. My other flat hasn't sold, it won't sell in time, we don't have the cash to move without going back to the bank with a begging bowl.

If they cock it up and the notice is invalid it's not a problem if it's spotted before the sale completes as you can just serve a valid notice. If it isn't spotted until after the sale completes then yes, they have a problem. I'd expect the drafting of the section 42 to essentially be a collaborative process. One side drafts it, the other side checks it, off it goes. Who actually does the first draft doesn't seem that important really.
If your solicitor doesn't think they're competent to draft a section 42 notice, that bodes, and it does not bode well.
As above. I hope they're at least cheap.
If that's the case then they really don't know what they're doing.
I'm inclined to agree!
